Uganda Premier League table leaders BUL FC have secured the services of highly experienced versatile attacker and winger Ibrahim Orit.
The former Vipers SC player has been tied down to a two-year employment contract.
BUL head coach Abbey Bogere Kikomeko has highlighted that Orit will add valuable experience, and his abilities will lead the charge for silverware this season.
“We were lacking an experienced midfielder; we only had Jerome Kirya, who was overloaded in that he had to play almost all the games and looked like he was getting tired,” Kikomeko told the club media.
